I don't understand this.

To delete newsgroups, you have to run the cppsetup program.

As far as I am aware, there is no "delete mode" in cppsetup, and no f6
hot key. You cursor to the group you want to delete, and hit AltD.

Alternatively, you can delete groups using cppsetup from the command line.
Just enter "cppsetup -demon.ip.cppnews" for example. The "-" (minus sign) 
indicates you wish to delete a group. A plus sign indicates you want to 
add a group.
